"Life is a Road"
Life is a shifting road,
surprisingly changing,
abundant with new paths and exits.
There are cracks,
and twists,
and turns,
and crashes,
and dead ends.
You don't know what to expect.
There are always roads that are smooth,
or rough.
There are rocks and obstacles,
that blocks your way.
Life is a shifting road.

Louis Pasteur: #20 Most Influential Person:
Louis Pateur:
Louis Pasteur was born in December 27, 1822 at Dol, Jura, Franche-Comte, France. As Louis grew up, he was very good at drawing and painting. He then earned both the Bachelor of Arts and Science degree. He then became a professor at the University of Strasbourg and met his wife, Marie Laurent. Together, they had five children. Only two survived to adulthood and the other three died of typhoid; this encouraged Louis to find cures. Later in his life, he started to research. He researched bacteria, milk, theories of diseases, and etc. The most important thing he made was the pasturization process. This help milk and wine be clean to drink. Then, he created vaccines for rabies and anthrax.After all his discoveries, he was regarded as one of the three founders of microbiology with Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch. He was very influencing because he found ways to cure diseases and created the pasteurization process; these ways are still used in the world. He died on September 18, 1895 at Marned-la-Coquette, Hauts-de-Seine, France and was buried with his wife.

Chinese Poem:

Chinese Poem:

On the floors of the dry desert plain,
the footsteps of the warriors beat like a drum
It attacks the surface of the floor with a steady rhythm
The prey,unknown of what is to come, is lost and confused
One of the warriors catches a glimpse of it in the corner of its eyes
It then silently draws the bow and releases an arrow
The arrow plunges straight into the prey’s skin
Piercing it with a perfect aim
Is it life or death?
That is now up to fate

Italian Professor says has found World's Oldest Torah http://www.jpost.com/Jewish-World/Jewish-News/Italy-prof-says-has-found-worlds-oldest-Torah-314734

With such coincidence, the world's oldest Torah was found at the world's oldest university, Bologna. While Maura Perani, a professor at Bologna, was re-examining the scroll made out of soft lamb skin that measured 118 ft long and 25 winches wide, he noticed the script was much older than previous thoughts. The Torah was bored with the first five books of the Jewish bible starting from Bereshit (the equivalent of Genesis) to Devarium (Deuteronomy). To many people's surprise, the Torah was in a very good condition, considering at that time, many literatures and writings were being demolished and ruined. This scroll, written by either the Jews or Christians from the Dominican monastery, was one of the most oldest and longest Torah in the world. This discovery was both amazing and shocking to not just Rome but to the whole world.
